What does it say at the top of the page where you view your email..
At the top of the page it says inbox windows mail.
I never had a password with this ever since it was set up in 2002. It just opens straight into my inbox.

if that case if you access your email using a program on your computer like Outlook Express , the email messages, address book and settings should already stored on your computer. You will need to change your default email address in the OE settings once you have set up a new email account so that it will accept your new email ..
Google this...'Set the Default Email Account in Outlook Express' for lots of information like this....
Select Tools | Accounts... from the menu.
In Windows Mail and Outlook Express, go to the Mail tab.
Highlight the desired account.
Click Set as Default.
Now click Close.
This is what it looks like on my PC..
There are lots of good reviews for Gmail so I think I will move to them and they will be my default email address .

as you are already with Outlook Express 'Outlook.com' may be the best email option for you.https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-com/
I signed up to Gmail and hate it so signed up to Outlook.com which looks clearer, less cluttered and more suited to my age goup.
It is number 2 in all the reviews

Pity I can't just forward the entire folders to another email addy but I don't think that can be done. I shall have to forward the emails one by one and then create a new folder for them in my new addy.
OMG the work it involves. I reckon I shall have at least 200 emails to shift..
Then I have to let all my contacts know...
What a pain!!
I can't speak for Windows Live but there are addons for Thunderbird that allow you to download mail as a data base or as a series of plain text files - I use one called ImportExportTools to archive my seniors club incoming and out going emails as a series of individual text files.
The other thing you need to consider is your address book(s) if you are using a mail reader they are already on your computer but if not you need to download them from your ISP in a format that, say, you can upload to Gmail or Outlook or into a mail reader. You need to investigate this a little but it is usually easy to do.
